Food was great! Drinks were very tasty. The music is a little too loud. I felt like me and my friend had to yell to hear each other.

A lively place. I arrived for my 6:45pm, 12April2025, bar seat reservation on time. Upon arrival I was informed that there were no seats available at the bar. I advised the host that I had a reservation, to which he responded, “I don’t know why they allow bar seat reservations because the bar is always full.” I was asked to wait for an available seat. About 15 minutes later I advised the host that there was a space but no bar seat and asked for a chair. He obtained a chair and I was seated at the bar for dinner. I would have appreciated if he had been a bit more proactive as he left it up to me to find a seat, without regard for my confirmed reservation. Justin, the bar tender made up for the SNAFU with the reservation/host/seating. He immediately greeted me, offered a hand-mixed margarita and a dinner menu. Thank you Justin. I had the chicken with mole sauce and plantains. It was delicious. The atmosphere was very active and loud. However, everyone seemed to be having a great time and there was a line to get in. I would recommend having a reservation. That said, the experience was good (except the seating issue) and I would recommend Zocalo and will return.

My daughter and I had SO much fun at Zocalo! The food was really great and flavorful and the presentation of the drinks (even the mocktails) was so pretty. Everyone was so friendly and we enjoyed the music and happiness of all there!

The revamp is nice. We went on a Friday, with a reservation. Very busy. Very loud. Nice vibes. We were a two top, however, when we requested to be moved to a bigger table we were told that bigger tables are reserved for bigger parties. With that being said, the table was cramped seeing as we ordered a margarita pitcher plus a an appetizer each. So once the food arrived, we were still eating our appetizers and had to get those boxed (with nowhere to put them) to make room for the food. I pulled a chair up make room for the to-go boxes. After some time the manager pulled over another two top table to make space for the food. Our queso which was boxed up by the waiter, was never brought back out and we realized it was missing the next day. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience. I would go on a less busy night.

Food was great but music was entirely too loud for 6:30pm. We couldn’t even carry on a conversation. Unfortunately we most likely won’t go back for that reason alone.

We went Saturday evening around 7 pm. The place was hopping! Now I know why. Good food, good service, and an energetic vibe. Plus, who doesn’t love a $5 taco?
